About Raffir® Stabilized Wood
Variations and properties:
The finished material maintains the unique grain patterns of the untreated wood. Meanwhile, it obtains mechanical advantages from the strong resin compound. Raffir® Wood is stabilized in various colors such as: black, brown, red, yellow, purple, lime, green, orange and natural. Raffir® stabilized wood has high durability and can obtain a high gloss finish after polishing. It absorbs very little water after the treatment, and will have very low swelling and shrinkage at different humidity. Therefore it will not warp and crack as easily as untreated wood. The material has a smooth surface without parosities and needs no other finishing than fine sanding and polishing.
